Dangers Near Construction Zones

Many construction projects are being conducted on a daily basis as more
and more people move to Austin weekly, creating a need for bigger roads
and more housing. Unfortunately, at the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C.,
we are all too aware that these construction zones are not always exactly
safe for passersby. In fact, construction workers or site managers all
too often fail to ensure the site is safe and does not present unnecessary
dangers that could cause innocent people serious injuries and devastating losses.

Common Dangers of Construction Zones

Construction zones typically have heavy and complex machinery, unstable substances, many
dangerous objects, and unstable products. Of all the dangers present on
a construction site, some of the ones that most commonly cause unsuspecting
people serious harm include:

Uncovered manholes

Falling objects

Dangerous operation of construction vehicles

Poorly constructed scaffolding

Failure to contain toxic chemicals

Uneven pavement / potholes

Wet or slippery walking surfaces

All of these dangers could lead to serious injury for people who are passing
near a construction zone. However, because these dangers should have been
avoided in the first place by those who are responsible for maintaining
a safe environment, those injured may be able to hold them legally responsible.
